LIGHT SIDE OF SEATTLE FAIR
Amusements in Endless Form That Will Be Provided for Visitor, to the Alask-Yukon-Pacific Exposition.
THB beauty of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition is not dignified: It i
Blluring"-
Kor a matter of fact, dignity Is no part
of the show. What there ut of It Is con
fined to the directorate and to the native
firs which still tower above the ground;.
The architecture of the exposition
structures proper shows all of the grace
ful, attractive curve, ornate facade and
- dainty dome of the moU-rn French ren
aissance. The Government building" are
in the Spanish renaissance, with enough
of Moorish tincture to make the augges-
tion strongly Oriental.
One walks through the grounds in cir
cltf and everywhere skirts bed of blos
soms of frivolous color. The walks and
ways a or devious and they lead through
formal gardens and riotoiaa tangles unti.1
one Is .surfeited of sweet perfume. and
fairly expects, from the very scene held
up to his vision, the music, the noise and
the action which have been arranged for
and which will be the loud note of the
whole allow.
Amusfment Is to ! made the keynote.
The exposition Is predicated upon the the
ory that when the world makes-a holiday
It is for the fun tha.1 Is to be had of it.
"It is to be an affair of curves; not square,
prim corners: a matter of carnations, not
caila lilies. Not a vista from the grounds
is viewea through the blue gloom of cy
press trees.
On the contrary, the way to the "Pay
crea iirotigli svarl-t geraniums.
And that combination of joy and gcra
mum Jiut about epitomizes the exposi
tion idea. The- management has been to
more palna to build up an amusement way
or class than to till the Manufactures
building or Machinery Hall.
Jt was Monsieur Jahour. who remem
bers Portland, and whom Portland re
members, who. seeing the exhibits going
into tne fa lace of Agriculture, remarked
to X. Sal ih. impresario of the Turkish
vlllageji:
"That squash, he's a very fine soiiash,
and that hay shea good for horse to
eat, but if you have not the midway
have not the exposition."
you
All of which Is
bergs idea. "We
quite President "hil-
will have fun if we
can't have anything else." said Mr. Chil
berg. when the fair began, and thafs the
way it has been carried through, although
there la fully as much of the anything
ls." as there, is of straight frivolity. -
The sense of all this badly broken com
ment is that the "Pay Streak" of the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition is a
gr.?at big feature. It Is in all way wor
thy and It Is the word of such profes
sional exposition men as have found their
way on the payroll that it has mors
class than either Buffalo or St. Louis.
They do not mention Jamestown, for
no showman loves to conjure evil mem
ories. As noticeable as m its "class" In Its
cleanliness. Kven the princess Zaniona
toes rhe Salome dance In her ribbons
and slippers and .Captain Baker's Kskimo
are attired, even at the minimum, in their
mukluks.
The standard of educational value Is
much higher than is ordinarily expected
of a straight amusement feature. There
Is a sermon in the tribes of Kskimo
brought from Siberia and Taihrador. be
sides much of fun and interest. As an op
portunity for ethnological study, the Ks
kimo village Is next best to a tour of the
north, for not only the natives, but the
life they live has been brought down
where It may be looked over.
The Turkish Village and Streets of
'alro are always a big card, and at the
-A-Y-P " makes a bigger spread than at
any show since Chicago. Salih A Co..
the concessionaires, have a troupe of
more than -150 people, with the usual
camels and elephants, and they will all
have been on the grounds for a month
on the day the exposition opens. Thev
also have the Spanish theater, with danc
er anil singers of old Madrid.
The Gold I'amiu of Alaska is an alto
gether new proposition in the show busi-
ness. It is more an -exhibit, for it la a
correct reproduction of No. . Cooper
tJulclt. Captain K. W. Johnston's famous
placer working in Nome. Something like
;). worth of Seward Peninsula par
gravel has been imported, and this whl
be sluiced through boxes and cleaned up
hourly. Also it will be made possible for
the visitor to stake a claim, prospect It
himself, pan his bednxk scrapings and
has the average automobile looking fool
ish. Thompson's a.-enlc railway commands
one end of the Streak. It la the blgaesl
spread Thompson has ever made, and he
has produced "scenic effects' which are
quite new. To the railway he has added
the mountain slide, which is an oppor
tunity to slide down hill on what the
tailor provided you wltn. at the same
stoneware. I'u'p has brought something
like t ' n Ions of them with him and they
tr.ake a highly Interesting andval-iebse
display.
